38 year old Benjiman Durr of Walton and his wife, 33 year old Wendy Durr, were arrested on Wednesday. He faces a Class C felony charge of arson while his wife is charged with conspiracy to commit arson. On Sept. 14th, the Durrs' 130-year-old home was destroyed in a fire. Benjiman Durr told a reporter at the scene that he had just left the house to go buy dog food and that his wife and children were visiting relatives out of state. The following week, fire investigators determined the blaze was intentionally set by someone using a liquid accelerant to start the fire in an upstairs library. No other details about the fire were released since the case is still pending.
